£1,100 More For The

St Andrews, Scotland, Dec, 2. An additional £1,100 in prize money has been allocated to the British Open Golf Championship, bringing the total to £4,850,
The first prize remains at £1,000 but the addi. tional money is to be spread over the lesser awards, which become highly attractive. An additional £150 is to be added to the prizes for each of the second to sixth places, with smaller sums lower down, while the player with the lowest aggregate for the 36 holes qualifying will receive £50 Instead of £25,

Sixty years ago the prizes totalled only £100 with £30 to the winner. Even in more modern times, 1946, the total was only the same as the winner now gets. But since 1951 there has been a steady in- crease almost every year until in 1955 the first prize of £1,000 was instituted.--China Mail Special.
